Approximately 600 people gathered at the Old Orange County Courthouse and Plaza of the Flags in Santa Ana tonight to rally in support of Marriage Equality in response to the California Supreme Court’s 6-1 decision affirming the validity of Proposition 8.
Former State Senator Joe Dunn and Santa Ana Councilmember Michelle Martinez spoke at the courthouse along with several couples some who were married last year, and some who chose to not endure the potential rollercoaster ride caused by Prop 8.
There were the usual 5 anti-gay protesters who showed up briefly at the courthouse before they left for the Garden Grove Red Lobster to protest the serving of shellfish in violation of Leviticus.
We’ll have more later.
